Callaway’s Opus SP Wedges: Rethinking Spin From The Ground Up

After just a one-year run (short by wedge category standards), Callaway is replacing—or I suppose building on—the original Opus with the new Opus SP wedge lineup. It’s fair to say that while the original Opus marked a huge (and necessary) step forward in the category, the quick turnaround suggests Callaway felt it could do better … and fast.

Conceptually, think of Opus SP as blending the spin-enhancing ideas behind Opus Platinum with the tour-validated shaping of Opus—specifically Shape 6, the prototype shape that became the blueprint for the final version.

But here’s the thing: Callaway isn’t just tweaking around the edges this time. They’re fundamentally rethinking how wedges create spin and, if this approach works, it could change how we think about short-game performance.

Rethinking spin

At the heart of the Opus SP design is a fresh approach to the typical wedge story. With the new wedges, Callaway is championing the concept of “Efficient Spin“—or spin per degree of launch. Ultimately, the objective is to generate the lowest launch with the highest spin possible. On the course, this gives you the ability to fly the ball low with the confidence that it will stop quickly.

Spin Pocket: The star of the show

At the heart of this approach is the new Spin Pocket design (the “SP” in Opus SP). While most wedge spin stories center on groove design and face treatments (and, to be sure, there’s some of that here), Callaway is leaning into a new method of raising centers of gravity as the foundation of Opus SP’s increased spin rates.

PUMA’s New Arnold Palmer Collection Is Already Selling Out – Here’s Why

PUMA GOLF is one of those brands in the golf apparel space that doesn’t necessarily get the love it deserves.

Between high-level collabs with Palm Tree Crew, and their ever-expanding collection of Arnold Palmer gear, the Germany-based sportswear giant tends to get lost in the hullabaloo of well-marketed “d-bag” golf polos.

If you’re never given them a real look, take this as your sign.

jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) { var slides = $( '#mgs_gallery_68925fb5e706d .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image' ).length; if ( slides 6 ) { slides = 6; } $( '#mgs_gallery_68925fb5e706d .mgs-gallery-images' ).slick( { slidesToShow: 1, slidesToScroll: 1, fade: true, prevArrow: '', nextArrow: '', asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_68925fb5e706d .mgs-gallery-thumbs', swipe: false, mobileFirst: true, } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_68925fb5e706d .mgs-gallery-thumbs' ).slick( { slidesToShow: ( slides - 1 ), //less than number of slides, so it always shows infinite scroll (bugfix) slidesToScroll: 1, arrows: false, asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_68925fb5e706d .mgs-gallery-images', centerMode: true, focusOnSelect: true, infinite: true, mobileFirst: true, responsive: [ { breakpoint: 1023, settings: { slidesToShow: 3, }, }, { breakpoint: 600, settings: { slidesToShow: 1, }, }, ], } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_68925fb5e706d' ).magnificPopup( { delegate: '.mgs-gallery-trigger', type: 'image', gallery: { enabled: true, arrowMarkup: '', }, } ); } );

The latest AP collection from PUMA GOLF is everything that I love about golf apparel. Subtle, unique, and wearable. It pays homage to one of the game’s giants without the need for brash designs and seemingly screaming colors.

Speaking of colors, the color scheme for this drop is unique to say the least – relying on Panton’s color of the year, Mocha Mousse, for an elegant and elevated look. Hits of pale pink complement the bronze hue for something that is as classy as it is understated.

Is Mevo Gen2 The Next Generation In Personal Launch Monitors?

“Next generation” is one of those phrases that’s on the verge of becoming a cliché. Personally, I blame the Star Trek franchise, but it is what it is.

The new Mevo Gen2 personal launch monitor from Flightscope lets you know in no uncertain terms that this is the next generation. It is, after all, right there in the name.

We don’t know much about the new Flightscope Mevo Gen2 beyond what’s in the press release. However, based on what has been supplied, we are at the very least intrigued by this “next generation.”

The information provided suggests that the new Mevo Gen2 is either a refinement of Flightscope’s Mevo+ at a significantly lower price or an improvement to the standard Mevo at a substantially higher price.

Or it could be an entirely new Mevo option, smack dab in the middle.

5 Signs Your Golf Club Setup Is Built For The Golfer You Used To Be

If you’re like most golfers, your game has changed, but your clubs haven’t. Swings evolve. Bodies slow down or get stronger. You might play more now or a lot less. But most golfers don’t update their equipment nearly as often as they should. That’s how you end up with a bag built for someone else.

Specifically, the golfer you used to be.

Maybe you’re aging out of your old swing. Maybe you’ve finally improved past your beginner set. Either way, if your gear doesn’t match the player you are right now, it’s probably holding you back.

You’ve never reconsidered your iron type

Still playing blades even though your ball striking is inconsistent? Or using oversized game-improvement irons even though your consistency has improved? If your player’s irons, player’s distance, game-improvement or super game-improvement have stayed the same but your game has changed, it’s probably time for a switch.

Too often, golfers lock into a certain iron style and never re-evaluate. The forgiveness, launch and workability you need now might be very different from what you needed when you bought those clubs.
